Over 100 stone burial chambers, some 5,000 years old, are scattered across the hills, with underground passages once believed to lead to a mythical underworld. The most dramatic is Queen Maeve’s tomb atop Knocknarea Mountain. Both Keshcorran and Carrowkeel are free to visit — just a 10-20 minute walk from parking lots. Real Felipe Fortress, Peru Ten miles west of Lima, this seaside fortress was rebuilt after the 1746 earthquake as a five-sided fort with a moat and a mile-long stone wall. Tourists can explore its 24-acre grounds and two military museums, and enjoy views of the sea where Spanish ships once retreated. The fortress witnessed Peru’s final victory over Spain in 1826 and is open daily, with guided tours available. Cape York Peninsula, Australia Covering over 45,000 square miles of rainforest and wetlands, Australia’s northernmost region features 20,000-year-old rock art created by Indigenous Australians, one of the world’s oldest continuous civilizations. The peninsula is home to only 17,000 people — more than half of whom are Indigenous. It begins about 100 miles north of Cairns, where visitors can rent a car or fly to small communities. Gcwihaba Caves, Botswana Burrowed into the Aha Hills near the Namibian border, these six cave systems contain fossils and rock formations over two million years old — possibly the richest in southern Africa. A 630-mile drive from Gaborone requires a four-wheel-drive vehicle. Inside, bats fill dark chambers; outside, visitors may spot rare trees and geckos. The caves are best visited in the dry season. 21. Which site can visitors tour with a guide? A. Sligo Passage Tombs. B. Real Felipe Fortress. C. Cape York Peninsula. D. Gcwihaba Caves. 22. What do we know about Cape York Peninsula? A. It is heavily populated. B. It is known for ancient rock art. C. It is located south of Cairns. D. It is covered by rainforest only. 23. What is special about visiting the Gcwihaba Caves? A. A short walk is needed. B. A variety of rare animals is seen. C. A sea view is provided. D. A visit in the dry season is suggested. B Many students at college, including myself, arrive with a very distinct image of who and what we are going to be after graduation. Personally, I had my next ten years planned out before even starting my freshman year. My parents work in pharmaceuticals (制药业), so I knew about the career prospects: I had taken many scientific elective courses in high school and excelled in AP Chemistry, so I thought this degree would be something I could do well in and love for the next four years and afterwards in a career. In the fall of my freshman year, I signed up for a chemistry, a calculus, and an English class. I always enjoyed reading, so I thought the English course would be a fun addition and a possible minor to add to my studies. During that semester, I did well in all of my classes, but I felt I hated my science and math courses. I always liked math and science in high school, but something about the courses in college simply didn’t connect with me, which was my challenge throughout the year. The one thing that made me actually enjoy my first semester was my English course. I felt tired, just thinking about more chemistry classes the next semester. I thought that higher-level chemistry courses might be more interesting because they would become more specialized, but I continually found myself disinterested in the content of the courses. By this time, I had added my English minor, and the things I had learned in my minor were so much more exciting to me. I went with the flow until my sophomore year. I called my parents in tears. I couldn’t hold it in anymore: I DIDN’T WANT TO DO CHEMISTRY! I was completely ready for them to be disappointed and tell me to stick with it; thankfully, they were the exact opposite. My parents knew I was enjoying my English minor and asked me if I had any interest in turning it into a major. After talking with my parents and my advisor, I took the plunge. I switched to an English major. I felt like the biggest weight was lifted from my shoulders. Now, I could not be happier about switching my major. I have discovered my newfound love and capabilities. There have been so many opportunities that would not have happened if it hadn’t been for switching my major and career path. 24. What was the author’s main struggle as a freshman? A. Pressure for perfect grades. B. Uncertainty about future plans. C. Fear of disappointing her parents. D. Loss of passion for her planned major. 25. How did the author’s parents react to her quitting chemistry? A. Supportive of her pursuit. B. Relieved at her decision. C. Annoyed by her attempt. D. Concerned about her future. 26. Which of the following words can best describe the author? A. Purposeful and focused. B. Persistent and confident. C. Courageous and growth-minded. D. Disciplined and self-aware. 27. What can we learn from this passage? A. Every cloud has a silver lining. B. Let your heart be your guide. C. The wise man is always a learner. D. Curiosity keeps the mind young. C Pros and Cons of Artificial Intelligence According to a third of researchers surveyed for Stanford University’s annual report, artificial intelligence (AI) could lead to a “nuclear-level catastrophe”. The report’s authors note that while AI systems now “demonstrate capabilities unimagined a decade ago”, they are still “likely to give false information, often biased, and can be tricked into serving harmful purposes”. This contrast, as seen in innovations like ChatGPT, has heated the global debate on AI’s true impact. On the one hand, AI offers transformative advantages. Its clearest benefit is increased efficiency: by processing large amounts of data at very high speed, AI enables faster decision-making and raises productivity. A study found that AI can reduce patient waiting time in A&E by an hour. Similarly, tasks that take humans days — like sorting 10,000 lines of a spreadsheet---can be completed in minutes. Beyond efficiency, this automation promises more leisure time. Some experts believe shorter workdays and three-day weekends could become the norm. Furthermore, AI drives scientific breakthroughs, aiding cancer diagnosis and speeding up drug development through tools like AlphaFold. However, these benefits come with significant risks. Ethically, AI presents a basic challenge. Its purely logical decision-making lacks human emotion and moral sense, making it difficult to build real ethics into algorithms. AI also fails to capture the human factors that guide real-life decisions. Beyond ethics, AI threatens jobs. A McKinsey study estimates AI could displace about 15% of workers — 400 million people — by 2030. This potential for job losses is often seen as AI’s biggest downside. Compounding these issues is the risk of power monopolisation (垄断), as control over this technology could be concentrated in a few tech giants. In conclusion, AI is a double-edged sword. Its impact will be decided not by the technology itself, but by human guidance and proper regulation. A balanced approach is essential to harnessing (利用) its potential while protecting against its harms. 28. What can we infer from Stanford University’s annual report? A. AI has caused a nuclear-level catastrophe. B. AI has both upsides and downsides. C. ChatGPT is the most innovative AI product. D. Most researchers worry about AI’s safety. 29. What can be learned from Paragraph 2? A. AI can reduce patient waiting time to zero. B. AI will make longer workdays a global norm. C. AI can complete all time-consuming tasks in minutes. D. AI helps promote medical research with advanced tools. 30. What does the underlined word “compounding” probably mean in Paragraph 3? A. Worsening B. Solving C. Responding D. Explaining 31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage? A. To warn people of the serious risks of AI. B. To introduce the latest development of AI technology. C. To call for proper regulation of AI to balance its pros and cons. D. To argue that AI’s advantages are more important than its risks. D Much of the methane (甲烷) in air comes from human activities. But methane has natural sources too. Microbes (微生物) in wetland soils and trees also release methane. Vincent Gauci, an environmental scientist, knew the trees in wet places, like the tropics, give off methane from their trunks. Then, he wanted to study its release from trees in drier soils. “We were surprised to see the exact opposite,” says Gauci. The trees were actually taking in methane. Trees taking in and releasing gases is gas exchange. Researchers typically measure methane exchange low on the trunk, near the ground. But Gauci’s team measured higher up on the tree, thinking this would better estimate how much methane the whole tree might send out. Gauci’s two students measured methane release from trees in the UK and Panama, setting up a gas-exchange chamber on a tree to monitor how much methane it’s absorbing or sending out. They expected methane emissions would drop as they measured higher up the trunk. Their guess at first seemed to hold. Higher up the trunk, methane release dipped. But at chest height, the numbers dropped below zero — here, trees were absorbing methane. To further check their findings, the team analyzed trees from four regions — Brazil, Sweden, Panama and the UK. The result was the same at all sites. Overall, the trees took up more methane than they released. Using data from the four sites, the team estimated all the world’s forests may be absorbing 50 million tons of methane every year. The scientists believe methane is taken in by microbes that live in tree bark. On average, trees absorbed more methane than they released, with faster uptake in warmer climates. Gauci says, “People release far more methane than what nature can remove. So we have to cut back on fossil fuels. Trees are even more important for climate than we thought. We must be aware of the need for immediate action to safeguard this vital natural resource.” 32. What aspect of the research surprised Gauci? A. Its theory. B. Its process. C. Its findings. D. Its functions. 33. What can we learn from the research? A. Its data was measured globally. B. It was done by Gauci and his coworkers. C. Its participants were the same as before. D. It involved methods different from typical ones. 34. What does Gauci stress in the last paragraph? A. Trees can remove all methane. B. Protecting trees is crucial. C. Methane has no natural sources. D. Methane is significant to climate. 35. Which of the following may be the best title for the text? A. Trees may be big climate heroes B. Gauci found out trees’ growth secret C. Researchers studied trees in four areas D. Microbes can release and absorb methane 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Technological progress is transforming education, from AI chatbots to the growing accessibility of virtual-reality (VR) tools that expand the boundaries of the classroom. It offers the promise of equal learning opportunities for every student, yet has potential problems. 36 In 2023, the big story in technology and education was generative AI, following the introduction of some chatbots that produce text seemingly written by a human in response to a question or suggestion. 37 In response to that, some schools move to adopt policies around students’ use of the tool. In the meantime, many schools are beginning to explore potential opportunities. The use of immersive (沉浸式的) technologies like augmented reality (AR), VR, and mixed reality (MR) is also expected to rise rapidly in the classroom, especially as new high-end devices integrating these realities hit the marketplace in 2024. Students can create their own local interactive 360-degree scenes with basic devices. 38 39 While it often features dynamic videos and motivates students with rewards, the downside is that rewards are specific to the activity at hand, which may not extend to learning more generally. More creative game patterns that give students points for rethinking an approach or adapting their strategy, rather than only rewarding them for quickly producing a correct response, are needed. In brief, technology challenges our traditional views on educations. It has the risk of reproducing biases (偏见) but also offers new teaching and learning prospects. 40 We also should explore new educational methods to make the most of these technologies. A. We should rethink our educational practices. B. Gamification of learning activities is another growing trend. C. Educators immediately worry about students using it to cheat. D. Integrating AI into VR will further enrich the learning experiences. E. And the teacher’s acceptances of these new technologies varies greatly. F. This has caused more attention to technologies taking center stage in the classroom. G. However, some educators may overlook the risks and overemphasize the prospects. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Every summer, an average of 37 children die in hot cars in the US.

However, to my disappointment, I was assigned to Mr. Henderson, a most cold and strict editor in the office. He was a man of few words who never smiled at anyone. He constantly rejected my drafts, leaving messy red-ink notes all over the empty space of my papers. “Where is the core fact?” “Where is the emotion?” he would write. Those notes were harsh (严苛的), but strangely, they were also incredibly detailed, always pointing out exactly where and how a story was weak. Still, facing his sharp eyes and endless criticism day after day, I felt so defeated that I seriously considered quitting. I was convinced that he just didn’t like me. Then, a huge story broke. A historic building downtown, one that had stood for over a century as a symbol of our town, suddenly caught fire, and our newspaper needed an urgent headline report. Yet, right at that important moment, Mr. Henderson unexpectedly fell ill. Before going to the hospital, he walked slowly to my desk, his face pale. Without saying a word, he placed his old, thick notebook on my desk, which he always carried with him. He tapped on it, and left me in total charge of the big report. Racing against time, I rushed to the smoke-filled scene, interviewed shocked witnesses, and gathered facts. The big fire had destroyed the roof, leaving only the black brick walls standing. When I hurried back, only three hours remained before the final deadline. Sitting before the computer with my shaking hands, I typed anxiously. I rewrote the opening three times, deleting sentences back and forth. Each version felt lifeless. I just couldn’t find the core fact or the emotion Mr. Henderson always demanded. The wall clock counted down to my failure. Depressed, I pulled at my hair. My heart sank as the letters seemed to laugh at my helplessness. 注意： （1）续写词数应为 150 左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Suddenly, my eyes fell upon Mr. Henderson’s notebook. _________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Two days later, Mr. Henderson walked in with a wide smile, holding a fresh newspaper. ________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
